Hey Gil,

It depends on how you are feeling after a block (after giving it some time to "kick in," etc). A lot of PM docs like to do a series of three; however, there is not hard set rule as far as I know.

The Dr said it most likely its my L5-S1, if that does not work it may be your L4-L5?

Thanks
